Broomfield League Meet

BROOMFIELD -- The Eagle Trace Golf Course was a bit rough, thanks to the recent weather, but Kelsey Greiner found a way to work her way through it Monday afternoon. Mountain View High School's top player carded an 87, her best round of the season and the second-best round of the day.

Her score helped the Mountain Lions finish third at 388, with Thompson Valley next at 402. Mountain View's finish was aided by Kylee Tokoi's 93.

"Kelsey was solid," MVHS coach Dave Hunn said. "She shot a 42 on the second nine and showed she's not going to give up. Considering the course and the windy conditions, that was decent for her. I was also happy with Kylee, playing as a sophomore. Her last four or five rounds have all been in that range."

Thompson Valley coach Jan Wall plans on getting in as many rounds as he can for his team this week, though he has a bad feeling the weather forecast will wipe out Wednesday. The Eagles had two players stay in the 90s, as Taylor Axelson finished at 97, Aryn McLaughlin at 99.

"I thought we would shoot better than we did, but I felt the conditions affected some of the putting," Wall said. It was nice to try to get out and get in a rhythm again. We're playing tomorrow and playing Wednesday again, and I have a practice round for them. They're going to get a lot of playing in this week."

Loveland will have a quick turnaround, staring regional play today just about 15 hours after closing out the regular season with the Front Range League loss to Fort Collins. Still, it's a result that coach John Manuszak hopes will have his team on the bus and positive on the way to Cherry Creek.

The Indians picked up wins at the top, with Becca Weissmann and Sarah Clinkenbeard winning at the top two singles spots, while the Indians' No. 1 doubles tandem of Ashlyn Wong and Katie Nottenberg came away victorious in three sets.

"We've played such a tough schedule, the 1s haven't had a lot of wins," Manuszak said. "To beat a really good team before going to regionals should give them some momentum. Sarah is probably playing the best I've seen her all year. Everybody seems to be peaking at the right time, which is what we wanted."

BHS Eagles 5, TV Eagles 2

BROOMFIELD -- The twos were wild for Thompson Valley on the day, with both of those spots picking up wins as the Eagles head into regionals on Thursday, a tournament they will try to play in one day because if IB testing on Friday.

Belen Vidal dropped the first set 6-1 to Broomfield's Monro Obenaver before bouncing back with 6-2, 6-0 decisions. The doubles team of Amber Weens and Emilee Mendoza just bounced their foes, 6-2, 6-2. All of it has coach Jay Klagge feeling good about the regional approach.

"To go to Broomfield and compete at a few lines gives us confidence going into regionals," Klagge said. "The last couple of weeks each of our lines have had a couple of days where they played really well, so I think everybody is looking forward to what they can do at regionals."

Eagles 18, Demons 2

GOLDEN -- The reality was it took Thompson Valley's offense a bit to get clicking. Once it did, the Eagles never stopped, controlling play and scoring at will in a 18-2 road win over Golden.

"Things are going pretty well for our offense," TVHS coach Rich Modesti said. "Once we started rolling, the guys were able to find gaps in their defense and we were able to expose it. Our kids work hard. We've been talking about our ability as opposed to our work ethic. The kids know their ability is as such that if we work hard, we'll give ourselves the ability to win."

Brian McGhie had two goals and assisted on four others on the night. Kale Wilson and Tanner Knaus had three goals each, while Nik Clinton, Kyle Murray, Eric Houghteling and Casey Young had two each.
